Annnouncing 2017-2018 LEXinars
Four new classes will be starting this fall, after Labor Day.
Two are regular short-term LEXinars (linked to registration pages):
InSights into VERBS This course is an excellent companion to the new InSights into Auxiliaries deck coming out in the late summer, also available in the LEX Store.
The Nature of the Grapheme Great as a stand-alone class, a a complement to The Nature of the Phoneme, and/or a companion to the LEX Grapheme Deck.
The other two are longitudinal, year-long LEXinars (linked to deposit page):
Grammar for Grown-Ups: study the English sentence using sentence trees and other hands-on tools to make sense of both syntactic form and function. This ain’t your grandma’s grammar.
And the last one, back by popular demand, isn’t actually new. It is, however, a new study each time it’s undertaken. Multisensory Structured Language Education: A Course in Advanced Considerations is a rich, critical inquiry into the professional field variably known as MLSE, Orton-Gillingham, or dyslexia intervention. It offers literacy professionals the opportunity to deepen their theoretical understanding of the field and to hone their practice to more accurately reflect real English structure.
Deposits for year-long classes are 100% refundable with terms. Course scheduling will begin as soon as a minimum number of people have registered (4 for the short classes; 10 for the year-long classes. Short classes price points have been determined; the longitudinal classes will be priced based on the number of students, the exact number of hours, and other parameters not yet determined, but estimated to be $1250-1500. Payment plans are available.
If you register and are unable to schedule with us, you may request a refund or hold your spot for the next time we offer class. I am totally not interested in keeping your money and not delivering a worthwhile, accurate, and challenging course. It’s all about the scholarship, and I can’t wait.
Continuing education units are expected though ALTA; application process is underway. All LEXinars have been approved in the past.
Don’t miss out!
